SPECIES

 heraclides thoas

ORIGIN

Indonesia

Southeast Asia, specifically in regions like India, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, and other parts of the region.

 While the exact details of their evolution are still being researched, studies suggest that Heterometrinae, the group that includes Asian forest scorpions, may have diverged from other scorpion families on the African continent after the Indian subcontinent separated in the Cretaceous period. Later, they dispersed to Southeast Asia through India's collision with Eurasia, potentially multiple times.
